Test cards

Test cards are used to test the technical functions of the chip on the certificate card in connection with applications or system development projects or when the organisation is introducing certificate cards. Test cards can be used to test functions such as logging in to different information systems and applications or using card readers. Test cards only work in test systems and the test cards do not contain real personal data.

The data content of test card certificates is otherwise the same as the data content of production certificates. Currently, certificate cards use RSA technology

Do the following:

Order the test cards you need via e-services. If your organisation does not yet have an e-services account, you can create one by registering for the service.

Test cards with ECC chip

Test cards usually have an RSA certificate, which certificate cards currently in production also have.

For future chips, the range also includes test cards with the ECC certificate. The ECC test cards are intended for testing ECC features only. There are two types of ECC test cards: organisation test card and social welfare and healthcare professional test card under the professional practice right of a physician.

If you need ECC test cards, indicate in the "More Information" section of your order what type of test cards you are ordering when ordering cards in the e-services.
